Great car
A great car to drive. Only negative is visibility while backing up at night.
Pacifica rocks!!!
Traded off a 2002 Lexus RX300 and all I can say is WOW!! Daimler-Chrysler has a real winner here! Safety went into everything. Roomy cabin with excellent trim and driver features. Travels through Ice/Snow with ease and makes me feel all "fuzzy" inside. Turns heads and makes me feel good! Nobody has anything over on the Pacifica. Sorry Toyota/Lexus and anyone else trying to compete!
Best car for the dollar in its class.
Despite the name I love my 2005 Pacifica and without a doubt it's more car for the money then anything out there. Just do a Edmunds vehicle comparision and you will know what I mean when looking at 40K SUV/Crossover vehicles such as the RX 330, Murano, SRX and X3. Most of all the Pacifica offers in my opinion the most unique car approach to date as far as being truely a oversized wagon that maintains its sedan like poise, while emphasizing the "U" in both utility and luxury with its room for 6, power lift gate, wood and leather shifter, DVD player, 400 watt stereo, reverse park, 4 heated seats, Blue Tooth, HID lights and cargo capacity. The Pacifica is truely a 6 seater wagon with out equal.
My Pacifica
I love my Pacifica. It handles really nice and is great on wet or snowy roads. My only complaint are the blind spots caused by the high Beltline. My husband put Circle mirrors on my side mirrors so I could see what's next to me.
Nothing But Problems
Pains to me to say this - I love the car - all the features - nav system is excellent, its comfortable, etc. BUT had NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS with it - had it for 6 weeks - been in the shop 3 weeks - tons of parts replaced. Serpentine belt, horn mechanism, AC compressor. The blind spots are ridiculous - you simply can't see behind you. And the center console thing in the back seat is a joke - why is it there?
Diamond in the rough
I researched all of the similar vehicles on the market, regardless of price, and decided that the Pacifica was the best value for us. With all the amenities that it has, it feels like a luxury vehicle. I drive a Corvette in the summer, my wife drives an MR2 Spyder - we both love the way the Pacifica handles. Now, if it can just pull our boat this summer, we will call it a winner all year long.
Great car for small family
We have had our Pacifica for over a year and have a few minor issues but overall the car has fit our needs perfectly and I recommend this car for a small family situation. The Pacifica is very versatile. Long trips are a joy. Carrying our two dogs around is easy. City driving is ok with the higher point of view and quick acceleration. Great combination of style, comfort, and performance. We also had the cutting off problem. That was scary. If you have experienced this problem, IT CAN BE FIXED! Tell the dealer that the TSB# is 18-039-05. The condition only effects 2004's and half of the 2005's. Go the NHTSA website, reference ODI# 10159114 for more info.
Pacifica Signature Series AWD
The vehicle has been outstanding. The true test was in February when we had an ice storm. There were 4wd vehicles skidding all over the road and the Pacifica went straight up the hill and my nerves were put at ease. This vehicle is so much fun to drive and comfort, comfort, comfort. I would highly recommend the Pacifica to anyone who likes to have the extra room with sedan comfort and quiet ride. I only wish we had bought one sooner.
trade in trade up
I traded a Dodge 1500 pick up. I am in the army and do a lot driving from state to state. The pacifica is great to drive and comfortable to ride in. I can still pull my 22 ft. Mako boat on the weekends, while driving me and 5 of my fishing buddies in comfort. I don't miss the gas I had to put in the pick-up.
One for GEN'X
It is the perfect car for the non- minivan yet not another car person. To me all cars today look alike. I wanted something that stands out. This car does. You get the feeling of a sports car via the and yet there is enough room for the kids like in a mini-van. It took me a while to find a car that would satisfy all of my driving needs and this car definetly did it.
